Lady Lynn Forester de Laughingstock

Yesterday was not a good day for our ol’ non-elitist pal Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild. Pretty much every media person who was forced to cover the non-story about Lady Lynn throwing her support to John McCain had their irony meters turned on high. Campbell Brown, who has been really good as of late (and, Dan Senor or not, I love that button nose!), heaped buckets of condescension all over the Baroness and later in the evening Rachel Maddow firmly adhered guffaws to the whole ridiculous situation. You can watch both eviscerations below…

In related news, the Obama campaign suffered another devastating loss when Eunice “Lovey” Wentworth Howell, wife of fabulously rich Thurston Howell, III, announced that she was switching her allegiance to John McCain. The former Hillary Clinton supporter said it all came down to ambassadorships. “Hillary said that thanks to my millions of dollars in donations to her campaign, she would appoint me to be ambassador to one of those quaint little European countries. Obama said I’d be lucky to get appointed ambassador to Gilligan’s Island. That uppity . . .Wait, I didn’t mean that. We’re supposed to say that elitist, right?”
